If you keep scrolling down, the projected costs for operating this thing are estimated between $40 - $7000USD per month.
What if I instead buy a cheap 10TB hard drive and crawl at a more relaxed rate on a commodity PC at home? The cost goes way, way down after the initial investment, to near zero.. after one year the amortized H/W costs would be around $30 per month.
Additionally, 1 gigabit+ FTTH unmetered symmetric fiber Internet lines are ever more available at a competitive price.
- nolok 2y agoIf you're going at it this way then it's easy to male it worth it 8 gigabit unmetered symmetric fiber for 50e a month 500e initial one time purchase for a ryzen 6800u in mini desktop factor form with 32 gb of memory and 512 nvme gb drive. Proxmox installation. Electricity at 0,017 kwh with a 15w cpu. You can now hosts dozens of such projects. Upgrades for later include : an UPS for eventual power cut or surge, a small NAS for mass storage, a second mini desktop for Proxmox redondancy and replication. Since fiber lines have becomes the norm self hosting stuff at home has been a breeze and a joy for small projects. Extra bonus : jellyfin, pihole, home assistant, and all sort of other goodies can easily get a spot on that proxmox.
